A middle-aged man in a Blood Dragon Admiral's samurai garb is shown standing firm in front of the camera, his 50-year-old features aggravated by the metaphorical chains of his command. His somber, dark-circled brown eyes betray a glint of hope in them despite his sheepish expression.
He takes a bow before he begins, "Moshi moshi, Administrator Voncloud-san. I'm ashamed to admit that your additional message had just been forwarded to our attention, a fair bit has happened since our initial request."
He clears his throat and fixes his expression to a neutral one before continuing, "Needless to say, we appreciate your sanctuary, no matter how limited, and shall do our best to notify you beforehand should we be on approach. While we don't yet have a complete understanding of how the House of Corsairs will react to us, we can understand if they'll be suspicious of a foreign battleship filled with hungry mouths and their families suddenly rolling around.
"If we're ever around, by my honor as Grand Admiral, we'll keep the Aokigahara's weapon systems cold and our engines hot in case we'll need to flee.
"Once again, we are grateful for your cautious, but open arms. It means so much to the Blood Ronin to have more beacons of hope in these dark expanses of Sirius.
He takes a long bow before concluding, "May the tides of fortune guide you all... Dachiko, out."

"And actually, it just so happens that we might have need of your freeport's sanctuary in a bit. We've recently received word of an organization called the 'Natio Octavarium', whom we've heard to be a people welcoming of... exiles such as us.
"We are hoping to eventually establish contact with them, but given that we know not their diplomatic situation with the other houses, the zoners and other groups, nor are our battleship's comms arrays powerful enough to send transmissions more than three jumps away, we were hoping we could use Freeport 6's comms arrays to send a proper message to the NO, and-or that your group may help us shed some more light about them.
"However, our arrival shouldn't come to pass for a while, given that we're still in Rheinland, notably Heisenberg Research Station. Their comms arrays here are very top notch! And we've still to inquire sanctuary with Freeport 1, but if we're ever accepted by them and are there, we'll contact you further, Commander-san.
"Once again, we are grateful for your cautious, but open arms. It means so much to the Blood Ronin to have more beacons of hope in these dark expanses of Sirius."

A middle-aged man in a Blood Dragon Admiral's samurai garb is shown standing firm in front of the camera, his 50-year-old features aggravated by the metaphorical chains of his command. His neutral expression is betrayed by the dark circles beneath his somber, brown eyes.
He takes a bow before he begins, "Moshi moshi, Administrators of Freeport 1. My name is Tamiya Dachiko, Grand Admiral of the Blood Ronin, a small group of Blood Dragon exiles seeking to find a place in Sirius. We were hoping we could implore for brief sanctuary aboard Freeport 1 for our mothership, the Togo-class battleship Aokigahara, as we make our way towards the Tau sector.
"The reason we're headed for the Taus is to follow-up on advice from a... friend of ours about seeking out this group called the 'Natio Octavarium'. We're told they're a people willing to welcome the exiled and the destitute, and we're hoping to see if their actions satisfy or even exceed their reputation.
"We don't plan to stay at Freeport 1 for longer than a day or so to resupply and plot an adequate course through the House of Bretonia.
"We hope that the situation in Bretonia and our potential stay there won't complicate your diplomatic relations with the noble house you're close with, and that while we're on approach or once we're there, if there's anything the Blood Ronin may procure for or help the Zoners of Freeport 1 with.
He takes a long bow before concluding, "May the tides of fortune guide you all... Dachiko out."
